Mission Statement

The Library Media Center of today is a facility with global access to numerous sources and ideas in various formats.

The Library/Research Center offers advanced technology: Online subscription databases, print resources, and equipment offer a wide variety of opportunities for information retrieval. As a member of ACCESS PA, materials that are not available in the district can often be obtained through interlibrary loan. Computers are available for student and staff use. Everyone is required to use a photo ID for admission to the library and to borrow library materials.
